DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
Division of Environmental Health

Rule No.: RULE TITLE
64E-13.004: Standards
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: As a result of changes to Section 381.006(16), Florida Statutes (F.S.), brought about by the signing of House Bill 5311, the Department of Education, in consultation with the Department of Health, is required to develop rules for public and private schools. The Department of Education has indicated that it will take some time before this requirement can be addressed permanently. Therefore, they have requested that DOH continue to use the current rule (Chapter 64E-13, Florida Administrative Code, School Sanitation), at least on an interim basis: however, they have indicated several areas in the current rule that will require modification or will no longer apply. Therefore, the purpose of this rule is to repeal rule language that has been identified by the Department of Education. The effect will be that public and private schools will no longer have to comply with the requirements that are removed.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: This subject addressed is school sanitation in public and private schools.
SPECIFIC AUTHORITY: 381.006(16) FS.
LAW IMPLEMENTED: 381.006(6)(16) FS.
